I’ve played a lot of twin-stick shooters, but I had never before this had the urge to replay missions or bosses purely because of how buttery smooth the controls felt.ĪAC+ changes up the twin-stick shooter genre in a whole heap of ways – you start off with four playable androids, with their own loadout of primary and secondary weapons, as you go through the game, you unlock more by either completing levels or certain story moments.Īssault Android Cactus+’s ‘secondary weapon’ system allows the player to press ZL to gain a short burst of invulnerability to dodge and switch weapons. I found myself becoming quickly addicted to how polished the combat felt. The classic ‘move with the right stick and shoot with the left’ never gets old and with the game’s unique game-changing features. While the story tended to keep quite light-hearted in tone, there were some underlying serious elements however, I never found myself getting quite emotionally attached to any of the characters, or surprised by any of the story arcs and twists.īy the end of the game, though, I felt accomplished after going through the 25 stages and each character having their own unique personality, voice and model felt unique, interesting and quaint for a game that I could tell focused more on its core gameplay than actual hardcore story development.ĪAC+’s gameplay is exactly what you’d expect from a twin-stick shooter – fast, fun and heart-racing. It is not all fun and games when it is up to Cactus, and with the help of the other androids who are stuck on the ship to fight off hordes of enemies, which happen to be the ship’s own robot workers. While in space, she responds to an average distress call, but all is not what it seems when she becomes stranded on the freighter whence the signal had come from.
Its release was received exceptionally well and praised for its redefinition and polished twist on the original twin-stick-shooting genre.Īssault Android Cactus+ brings the original game, a faced paced, smooth, sci-fi shooter to the Switch as well as a range of new features, including the all new Campaign+ mode, which gives new players a scaled-up challenge and veterans of the game a whole host of new content to explore on the go, with the option for up to 4 player couch co-op.Īssault Android Cactus+’s story starts off as you following Cactus, an android Junior Constable of this world’s sci-fi police force.
